Deciding to spend the rest of your life with someone calls for a memory-making moment, namely, “popping the question.” For years, Birkat Elyon has helped couples find gorgeous CZ engagement and wedding rings to seal their commitment. It’s a smart move that allows them to enjoy the beauty of high-quality cubic zirconia and to save money over “the real thing,” starting their future on financially sound footing. So here are some smart tips to ensure the proposal is everything you want it to be.
ASK PERMISSION Yes, it may seem old-fashioned but getting a blessing from the father and mother is both considerate and respectful. An added bonus? They may have valuable ideas for making the perfect proposal.
GET THE RING SIZE This is where friends and family can come in handy, secretly swiping a ring you can then use to size the engagement ring. They may also point out the kinds of styles and cuts your partner would most love.
PICK A PLACE What locations resonate with you as a couple? The site of your first date? A favorite scenic spot? Put some thought into this as it will really amp up the special vibe. Just note that, depending on your plan, you may need a permit for a public place or a contract for a private venue.
On that same note, coordinate your proposal around a time or event that’s special to you as a couple. Ensure that your intended is able to accommodate it.
HIDE THE RING You’ll really have to think in order to keep the proposal a surprise. Stash the ring (and receipt) in places she’s not likely to look: in the pocket of an out-of-season sweater or unused sports equipment, a piece of empty luggage, a toolbox.
PRACTICE You don’t need to recite a letter-perfect proposal. But do have some sense of what you want to say or focus on when you pop this important question. If you’re nervous, think about elements of why she’s important to you, her best qualities, when you knew she was “it.” Speak from the heart and know that this moment is one that you’ll both treasure forever.
